Anyone else having issues with Google Music lately??
I've noticed songs pause themselves, and upon pressing play they rewind some.
Specifically, I've found Pearl Jam's free album "Toronto Live" the 1st song, "Long Road" @ 5:27s it pauses itself everytime I've played it. And upon hitting play it rewinds to about the 5min mark and pauses again @5:27.
This may be very specific to this track, but I've noticed all sorts of weirdness that last month or so, with tracks not playing at all, shuffle not working properly (ie: not progressing to the next song), and even songs skipping mid-track.
I'd like to think this is an isolated incident, but it also has been happening on my Atrix, and I've even tried reverting back to prior and as of last night, the new versions, with the same issues popping up. I've been using the beta version since release and its only been the last month or so, and I've noticed it on a variety of Roms (however I have not tried full stock on either device)
Perhaps this is due to being in "Beta" and maybe the surge of new users, but just throwing it out there to see if anyone else has had issues similar to these.

I've been having issues with the most recent builds of both Cyanogen and Pandora...
Whenever I load up Pandora for the first time after boot, about 5-15 seconds into the song it skips to another song and repeats the process until I have no more skips available. After that it just pauses the song because it can't skip them,...
So far I can't find any consistency when this happens so i really doubt its a problem with my hardware... Oh and I think this only started happening after the latest release of Pandora (updated like Tuesday i think)
Anyone else having this issue?
similarly, when I try to change the station im forced back to the 'now playing' screen over and over before I can choose a new station! Also running cy .8, so who knows where the problem lies...
I've also had the player just randomly start up and play some random station (which causes me to think its CM now :|)
I have an issue like that. Pandora will play for a while and then just pause, I can immediately hit play and it will start playing and then pause a minute or so later.
Very frustrating
i'm using 5.0.8 and I have no issues with Pandora. I noticed the topic line says "Test-5", try upgrading to the official 5.0.8 final. That might fix your issue. Do a Wipe also to eliminate any other possibilities.
Same issue here. Although, the problem with you going back to now playing screen from the stations screen is related to Pandora itself I think, I have same problem on evo 4g. I'm running cm 0.9b2 on my nexus by the way.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
well, I figured out how to fix the station/now playing problem temporarily. instead of going back to the station list by pressing the 'stations list button' and flopping back and forth insanely, press the actual 'back' button on your device to get to the stations. this seems to stop the problem. anyway, it seems fixed in the stable cyanogen release.
i have the now playing screen switch problem also... pandora used to run fine on my phone, now it skips all the time, hiccups frequently and sometimes just stops playing... im not sure what happened in the update but something isnt right,
So since Rogers updated us to froyo (yes this is the canadian i896 model) I've been having the problem lately where it just won't play media files anymore.
I'll notice this when I go to watch a youtube video and it'll say "problem playing touch to retry", then I'll go try to play an mp3 and it'll say "cannot support this file type", so I'll check a video and get the same. The pisser is that it won't play notification sounds or ringtones either as it seems to be all connected.
Now these are files that played fine only some time ago, so I dont' know what caused it to stop being able to play.
If I power down / power up the phone things are back to being copacetic. Just a pain as it takes about a minute to power down, and then at least a minute to boot back up.
Samsung suggested i just reset the whole phone - which I'm not enthused to lose a lot of data (some of my programs just don't allow backups).
I've taken the scientific approach and run each of my programs one at a time with after running it, checking it with with a media player to see if it'd stop working. nothing.
I've deleted/uninstalled a lot of programs to ensure it was running on only what i truly wanted. nothing
I just don't want to reset my phone - that would suck.
It just seems to happen at random. Literally I watched a video, put the phone down, went to bed, woke up the next morning and it didn't play. Now who know s what background apps were going on... but how can I control that..
any help/suggestions?
I have the same phone with the same issue
I have a new theory-
I noticed that it happens after I get a notification that my battery is full.
It sounds silly but it's the only thing I noticed that affects it.
I'll keep on testing..
heard the official twitter app causes some issues - uninstall it to fix
i uninstalled - so we'll see if it fixes
So I have Mango on HD7 running very well nearly all the music is from the Zune subscription service (in fact I think all) - today while listening to music the phone crashed twice and had to remove battery - anyone else had this?
similar issue
I had this problem on mango beta 1 but for me it was fixed in beta 2
I have uninstalled some apps - including sound enhancer which seems to have done the trick - interestingly enough never crashes when plugged into my car only when using headphones - this morning seemed fine.
I have this problem even on Mango RTM, i will try remove the sound enhancer, and yes only with headphones.
Same here, Mango RTM, and sound enhancer installed, my music is not from Zune, I have ripped all my CDs. I was hearing music and the player crashed when going from one song to the other, I was using headphones.
I'm going to uninstall sound enhancer to see if it fixed and will report later.
No issues with beta2 and RTM,with and without headphones and using sound enhancer
Same here sound enhancer removal did the trick..... Weird thing is it was only with 2 songs and with headphone use.....
Has crashed once more when listening to music with headphones after removing sound enhancer - I'm using the supplied HTC headphones not sure if that makes any difference. I have been using Windows for years so I'm use to occasionally doing a hard reset - but I have an otterbox case on the phone so its a pain in the arse to remove that to remove the battery. I'm sure people look at the phone and think "umm a Windows Phone that lookds good" but then they see me f**king around with removing the battery. Once O2 release mango officially I will revert back to NoDo then upgrade and see if that makes any difference - good to know its not just me.
For now it seems my problem was solved removing sound enhancer.
Crashed again twice coming into work today - the first time I clicked on the Next button for the next song and then had to remove the battery - the second when I felt it had crashed as no more songs were playing the phone would allow me to turn off ok. This only happens at the end of a song and start of a new one.
Had thought this was related to DRM as others having seen this also use Zune Pass. But if some of you don't have Zune Pass and still seeing the problem, then it must be something else. For what it's worth, it has been reported on devices other than HTC -- Samsung Focus for example. Other HTC devices reporting include HTC Surround.
Since pre-NoDo up to current pre-released version of Mango 7720, I continue to see the problem -- but only when Zune player is running by itself. If another task is running simultaneously (like the GPS recorder, Marathon, during my 30 minute morning run) then it never happens. Haven't had it happen while connected in my car (wire connection) but have had it happen while wire connected to a Sonos box. And it's always a zune pass song, never any of my MP3's.
So maybe MS's DRM service is causing the problem.
As enthusiastic as I am about WP7, if left unaddressed, this would damage the platform's credibility -- or at least I won't be renewing my Zune Pass when it expires next March.
Cheers
Thinking about all the songs that it crashes on are from Zune Pass.
It happens to me on my regular mp3/wma's. I do have a Zune pass, but I don't think it's ever happened on a Zune pass song. I also tried uninstalling sound enhancer, but that didn't help...

In another thread regarding the same (yep I should link it in but about to go to bed). Someone mentioned about removing the show artist when playing music in Settings>lock + wallpaper - the phone did not crash on the way home?
I tried turning off the artist on lock screen, and it didn't seem to help me. I've noticed though that it seems to only happen with a select few bands/artists. I'm going to remove and then reload the ones I've been able to identify, and I'll report back if it seems to make a difference.

So I removed and reloaded all of music last night, but I'm still getting crashes. In fact, I had a crash on a Zune pass song for the first time. This is really frustrating because I like to listen to music on my headphones at work, and I'm getting crashes every 5-10 songs. This sucks big time, Zune is one of the main reasons I got this phone. Hopefully this issue gets resolved on the mango RTM.

I had to remove my battery today twice. For the 1st time my Hd7 frozen =\ Both times I was using headphones.
The songs are from Zune, but not with DRM anymore (it's in mp3 format since I got the songs with my credits).
I have the artist wallpaper disabled, but have the sound enhancer... will try to remove it.
Sometimes the song stops while streaming through bluetooth, but never freezes!
Anyone tryied the new leaked roms? Checked if this problems persists?
So after flashing to the latest O2 rom I needed to readd all the music not one crash since maybe 4 days of no crashes? so maybe its the ROM but I think it might be remove all songs and then re-add them.
9/16 HTC installed the finished mango rom for Taiwan on my HD7 (hardware v.0002). After reloading apps and syncing music collection, went out for a drive and if froze after the 4th song. Requires removal of battery to restart. This happened previously many times with 7004, NoDo, and the leaked mango.
I concur it seems to have nothing to do with Sound Enhancer or Artist on lock screen. It also seems to have occured on devices other than HD7 (e.g., Samsung Focus)

Has there been any acknowledgement from the MS Zune team about this problem? It kind of ruins the whole experience.
I've found that even with new Mango ROM, if plugged in to A/C, it will play zune pass, shuffle, mp3s and does not crash.
But, if running on battery, it will definitely crash after 10-15 minutes of play. Anyone else see differently?
SOOOOOO SAAAAAAADDDDD - Crashed today. I really really like WP7 - but it does make you look like a tit when you have to take the battery out to restart it.
Hi all,
So I recently received a replacement S6 (because of a camera vibrating issue). Thankfully that issue is fixed, but what I've come to realize is that whenever I listen to podcasts, my phone would randomly rewind or fast-forward what I am currently listening to on its own. It took me a day to realize I wasn't crazy.
For example:
While listening to a podcast using Podcast Addict or PodBean, audio would randomly repeat the last 5 seconds, or skip forwards 5 seconds. I tried multiple stations, apps, and even kept the screen on to watch for it to happen. I thought it could possibly be my phone inputting commands on its own, so I watched and noticed Podbean only has a R/FF option for 30 seconds, yet it still does it in shorter increments.
Questions:
1. Has anyone experienced this before?
2. Is there any way to for the device to trigger a toast when a command is issued?
3. Would a keylogger work to find out what's happening? (I don't know..)
4. Should I get another device? Maybe this is why my current device was returned?
Currently on:
Galaxy S6 Replacement Device
Stock S6 MM 6.0.1
Having same issue.
I am having the same issue I started to notice it right after I updated to Marshmallow 6.0.1. Im using Pocket Casts as my podcast app. I have not found any fixes, I thought I was the only one with this kind of issue
Hi,
I had been using Android Auto with a Huawei P8 lite. It never crashed, but only the response times where a bit sluggish.
I got a brand new Samsung 5 Neo, and after setting up the phone, there was immediately an update to Marshmallow.
When I started using Android Auto, I was pleased to see that the overall experience was faster and better than my Huawei.
But for some reason, during (longer) drives, my Spotify (and Google Music), would crash in the middle of a song. (first a stutter, it could happen after two songs, five songs, there is no logic in it). After it crashes, Google Maps becomes unresponsive. The only thing that helps is disconnecting the cable.
After reading the web, I learned that it could have been because of the marshmallow update.
So after trying all the usual fixes (rebooting phone before using Android Auto, keep data always alive, etc), I decided to downgrade to Android 5.0.
At first sight, I thought everything was solved, but after a few days, the exact same problem started to appear
I will now try to clear the app cache, and reboot the phone each time, but I'm a bit dissapointed that it doens't work as it's supposed to work.
Any tips, remarks are welcome.
Downgrading to Android 5 didn't help, so I flashed it to a version of Android 6.
Magically the issue got away. And interesting fact, after a few days without any problem, a song started to stutter (I thought "not again"), but there was a message on android auto that said: "no internet connection", and the song paused (without the whole head unit crashing). Interesting enough, the whole playlist is available offline on my phone. So I guess, it's some sort of background data the music app needs (maybe the syncing to last.fm), that caused the issue. But glad, for some reason in this build, they handle the exception better.
